Increasingly, countries are saying, "right, either we are only allowing visitors in if theyve had both jabs, or if you can prove you have been immunised, we will allow you a much easier admission, perhaps avoiding testing or needing to quarantine." which raises the question, how do you prove it? here in england, for example, where im lucky enough to have been vaccinated, i have a fairly flimsy piece of card to prove it. and the government is giving us a smartphone app which will hopefully allow ...

Actually causing me neck pain. so, i was like, "huh, i want to get my hair cut." i would use that reasoning almost as, like, a cover—up excuse for deep down why i actually really wanted my hair cut. over time, the feeling got stronger and stronger, then i started realising, "i think theres something different here at play." basically, i got it all chopped off. when we went inside the car, i immediately started, like, bawling. im so happy! ive wanted this for so long! this feels better than i e...

# light up the room! i mean, that was the most amazing experience ive ever had. when it first went pitch black and i was standing there, i was like, "oh my god!" we did the sound check, getting such a vibe going in the room, getting everyone buzzing. good feeling, so now my challenge is to get that to the audience at home. ive got to remember that feeling. there is a big difference between performing for six people in a room to 200 million. just a little bit! honestly. i cannot believe i am here...

Sometimes, though, it isjust worth putting your phone down and taking in the majesty of it all as we hurtle through the universe on our one tiny ball of rock. brilliant! that was sarah cruddas. how amazing were those pictures?! incredible pictures. and its amazing to see what our smartphones can do that most of us will never actually use them for. right. and over the course of the past year, some people have got into new hobbies. others may have been busy sorting things out around the house, lik...

Really lovely shots, but the next two phones remove the trial and error with full astrophotography modes. hold still for two minutes and 48 seconds. the google pixel 5 decides for itself how long it needs to run for. and for this shot, im also using one of petes other photography tips. if you take pictures of stars with no context around them, they are just dots in your photo. there is nothing better than actually putting in a bit of artistic composition and adding in foreground objects, because...

This was the view from a few hours ago in church in streatham, some sunshine but also some showers. not as wet as it was yesterday. the rains finally clearing away from the south coast would still be a scattering of showers. likely we will have cloudy skies with fair weather cloud. this low pressure through the space of 48 hours brought over 100 millimetres in some places. behind it, we have been plunged into a northerly wind. although that is easing, it is chilly air. temperatures around the 12...

Western parts of britain in the afternoon. quite a bit of dry weather down the east coast, just the odd scattered shower ahead of this main band of heavy rain that will be followed and saturated ground, so that could be localised flooding. top temperatures 13 or 14 degrees. into monday, the main band of rain clears from the east, still lingers across scotland, but similar to what we have seen over the past week or so, sunshine and scattered showers. some of them are quite happy with some hail an...

Were comfortably able to book those flights and head away for the holidays. in the meantime, though, we are trying to show you the best digital travel experiences you can have on the web. well, how about being transported back to 16th century england to see king henry viii favourite warship the mary rose up close? a free virtual tour allows visitors to see the wooden wreck and learn more about this iconic vessel. for something more interactive, try heading to romania for a virtual walking tour w...

Or so, but if youre stuck under the rain, more like 10 or 11 degrees. still not especially warm for this stage in may. into monday, the main band of rain clears from the east but lingers across scotland. elsewhere, a day of sunshine and heavy showers, could be the odd rumble of thunder mixed in. still relatively cool, around 13 or 1a degrees at best. into the new working week, things start off fairly cool and unsettled and showery, but it looks like we expect at last some slightly drier and slig...

Of communications at the university of haifa. rehan writes for the middle east eye. chris is a journalist and a social media expert. and also with us today, anna, the editorial director of a magazine aimed at kids, there is no swiping required. anna, we will talk to you a bit later. i want to know briefly, i know your subscription numbers have gone up significantly. you are one of the fastest—growing magazines in the uk right now. is that correct? yeah, that is absolutely right. we gained 36% ...
